Centerville is a personal venture into the author, Richard Weigand's past, based in Town Centerville in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin where he grew up. The book adds a powerful but fictitious love story. There is a time-travel to the mid-1800s and then to the year 2000.
Considerable information from the 1800s is included covering German culture, immigration stories, religious practices, political thought, clearing of forests, farming, early building construction, and various challenges and tragedies of the time. It was the author's intention to honor the contributions of his ancestors and their neighbors, and to illustrate their struggles settling in the New World. It is a reminder that what we have today was built upon the sacrifices and foundations established by those who came before us. The book is both informative and entertaining.
Much of the book centers around the Wiegand farm, the author's home farm, established in 1848, and the immediate neighborhood. The farm, called the Wagner farm in the book, is still owned by the family. The author maintains, "Although I have considerable knowledge of the history of the farm and the neighborhood, I had to use my imagination for many of the details in the narrative."
Most of the events and some of the persons portrayed were either real or had some basis in reality. However, the names of people have been changed and the events have been obscured to provide confidentiality. The names of local businesses have been changed or omitted. Events have been altered to fit the narrative and the time period. Real place names are used, however. Those who want to know the exact history should contact the author or other local sources.
Part One of the book details the main character's mission traveling from the present back in time to visit his ancestors in 1858. He planned to only stay for a few months. The mission becomes complicated and extended to a dozen years by the fact that he falls in love with Elsa, the Wagner maid.
In Part Two of the book, I bring Elsa to the present to renew our relationship and give her a chance to experience another, more-modern life, which she accepts. Elsa's recollections, comparisons of the past with the future, and commentary, in general, are valuable historical lessons.
My hope is that this book will someday be made into a movie. A percentage of the net proceeds from the book and movie are to be used as a fundraiser for a library for Centreville Settlement Inc, a historical preservation organization in Town Centerville that I helped to establish in 1982. The library, mentioned near the end of the book, does not yet exist but is a dream of mine.
Автор: Wiegand Krista E. Название: Enduring Territorial Disputes: Strategies of Bargaining, Coercive Diplomacy, and Settlement ISBN: 0820337382 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780820337388 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 194570.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Examines why some states are willing to settle territorial disputes while others are not. The book argues that states may purposely maintain disputes over territory in order to use them as bargaining leverage in negotiations over other important unresolved issues. This dual strategy allows the challenger state to benefit from its territorial claim.
The Maryhill Museum of Art is located on 5,300 acres in the Columbia River Gorge. Miles from any sizeable town and surrounded by the gorge's spectacular scenery, Maryhill is an internationally recognized -- and undeniably eclectic -- repository of art that ranges from one of the nation's best Rodin collections to one of the world's largest assemblage of chess sets. It is, as The New York Times once described it, oddly fitting -- it brought the better works of man near one of the better works of nature.
Dancer, Dreamers, and the Queen of Romania is the story of the four widely disparate people whose lives intertwined in such a way as to lay the foundation for the museum. Loie Fuller was once the world's most famous dancer, who dreamed of becoming beautiful by creating beauty. Alma Spreckels was one of America's wealthiest women, who dreamed of being accepted for who she wanted to be rather than who she was. Sam Hill was a rich man who dreamed of becoming a great man. And Marie of Romania was a real-life queen who dreamed of being a fairy-tale queen.
And it is the story of those who followed them. These people nurtured and grew Maryhill from a fascinating oddity that Time magazine once called a top hat in the jungle to one of the relatively few U.S. museums accredited in every category by the American Alliance of Museums.
This is a book that will appeal to readers who like both biography and history, and will have particular appeal, but by no means be limited to, Western U.S. and Pacific Northwest audiences. It is side-street history in the tradition of Boys in the Boat, Unbroken, or Dead Wake. It will appeal to art lovers. It will also appeal to everyone who has visited or just passed by an inviting-but-oddly-located museum and wondered how it got there and who keeps it going.
This heretofore untold and remarkable story is narrated by a master wordsmith and historian. Steve Wiegand is the author or co-author of numerous books, including U.S. History for Dummies (Wiley), the 4th edition of which will be out in March 2019; Lessons from the Great Depression for Dummies (Wiley, 2009); The Mental Floss History of the World (Collins, 2008) and Papers of Permanence: The First 150 Years of the McClatchy Company (McClatchy, 2007).
Wiegand spent 35 years as a newspaper reporter and columnist for the San Diego Union-Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, and Sacramento Bee, and has published in numerous magazines and periodicals.
